Troops find $650 million in Baghdad - Thats mine


Two Army sergeants in Baghdad stumbled across an estimated $650 million in U.S. currency hidden in a cottage, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The sergeants tore down a cinderblock and concrete barricade blocking the cottage door Friday and found 40 sealed, galvanized aluminum boxes lined up on the floor. Breaking open one box, they discovered 40 sealed stacks of uncirculated $100 bills - $100,000 per stack, or $4 million in the box. In all, the 40 boxes were assumed to contain $160 million.
